Rebutting anti-tech arguments is hard because there's always another round of whataboutism to move the goalposts a little further.

That blog post was definitely not anti-tech. Maybe you're not familiar with this term. The post was critical of technology from a social/political perspective (with arguments), as were the luddites, but that's not anti-tech.
